What We Make

How We Make It

We use renewable feedstocks (sugars) instead of fossil fuels and apply industrial biotechnology (fermentation) using our proprietary yeast, which consumes sugar and CO2 to produce succinic acid. We then recover and purify the succinic acid and use conventional chemistry to convert the succinic acid into 1,4 Butanediol and disodium succinate.

We can use any type of sugar (C6 or C5) as feedstock

Our yeast is very efficient at producing succinic acid

CO2 is our other feedstock – providing roughly 25% of the carbon in succinic acid
